Alright Baby Dracula, we know that you are going to grow up to be hauntingly charming and will potentially terrorize the world with the mere thought of you…but right now you are a baby. And like most youngsters you may want to read some great picture books. Here are some that I am recommending just for you: 


By Lucy Ruth Cummings 
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

I know you are a vampire baby…and most babies like to go to the zoo. Here is a book about a vampire family that visits the zoo and all the crazy mischief that happens on that particular trip. 

By Christopher Denise 
Little, Brown and Company, 2022. Picture Book.

Toddler Dracula, I know that you prefer doing things at night. And Knight Owl is no different! He wants to be a knight and protect the kingdom at night. Now, maybe you aren’t so into protecting kingdoms…but you can always learn to like it, right? 

By Scott Rothman 
Illustrated by Pete Oswald 
Random House Children’s Books, 2020. Picture Book.

Baby Drac, you are strong. You have great strength and can often get what you want. Well, here is another story for you. The Underwear Dragon is also quite strong and he often gets what he wants; however, in this story you will learn that maybe, just maybe, being smart and kind is even more important than being strong. 

By Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey 
Norton Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

Here is the thing, one day Baby Dracula, you might want to leave your Transylvanian home. And when that time comes, chances are you might want to travel by boat. So here is a great story about a boat and how that boat changes lives over time. Pay attention. Maybe you will realize not only that boats are a great way to travel, but that your actions can impact all those around you. 

By David LaRochelle 
Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka 
Candlewick Press, 2021. Informational.

Finally, Baby Dracula, this is my last book suggestion for you. It is all about learning how to apologize. Because, basically, I have a feeling that sometime you might do something that isn’t right or good…and if you don’t do something nice, you should apologize. So here is a book to help you understand how feelings are important and how you need to respect the feelings of others—and apologize if you do something wrong. 

Well, that’s it. Those are the books that I think you should read. I hope you enjoy them Baby Dracula!
